Dropping the Pose Is Where Healing Starts.

I used to think most men were struggling with behavior.

But a lot of the time, they’re struggling with hiding.

In Part 2 of the Warrior Heart series, I sit down with Duane Crabtree, Executive Director of Warrior Heart, to talk about the mask men wear and why most of us don’t even see it.

What looks like confidence is often fear.

What looks like strength is often self-protection.

We talk about porn, people-pleasing, compulsive behaviors, and the quiet search for validation that drives so many men.

We also get practical about what it means to fight for your beauty.

Not with grand gestures.

With presence, safety, and emotional intimacy.

This episode is for men who are tired of performing.

And for women who want to understand what’s really happening behind the silence.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What “the poser” is and why it hides in plain sight
• The two questions every man is asking and why taking them to people keeps him stuck
• How fatherlessness shapes every man, even with a good dad
• What women actually need and how it differs from what men assume
• Simple ways to battle for her heart without slipping back into the pose
• A sacred moment of brotherhood and grief that changed how I showed up for my family

This is Part 2 of 3.

If Part 1 opened the door to identity, this one shows what happens when a man finally stops faking it.

Recovery doesn’t end when you get sober.

For many men, the real work starts after the crisis passes.

In Episode 40 of Get Unhooked, Jason Coombs shares why long-term sobriety still isn’t the same as emotional and spiritual freedom. After years in recovery, he found a new layer of healing through Warrior Heart Bootcamp, a three-day, phone-free men’s retreat designed to help men reconnect with God, brotherhood, and their true identity.

This conversation is a window into the male heart.

And it’s not just for men.

Women will better understand the silent weight many men carry, the fears they rarely voice, and why safety and vulnerability matter so much in lasting recovery. You’ll also meet Chris Bennett, known as the “Hulk of Hope,” whose story of shame, fatherlessness, and transformation became a turning point not only for him, but for his marriage and family.

This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on identity, healing, and what happens when men stop performing and start getting honest.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why sobriety can plateau without deeper inner work
• The vow of silence and why solitude changes men
• The three core desires of a man’s heart: battle, adventure, beauty
• Father wounds, shame agreements, and the search for validation
• What creates real safety for vulnerability in marriage

To close this episode with Chris and Autumn Bennett, I want to give you a clear path forward. If something in their story stirred hope, conviction, or even discomfort, pay attention to that. Those are often the signals that real change is available, if you are willing to take the next right step.

On day 73 of sobriety, Jason Coombs was standing outside a hardware store in Salt Lake City wearing an apron and grilling bratwursts for minimum wage.

He was trying not to be seen.

The shame was loud.

Then one conversation flipped the script and launched a new life built on purpose, service, and usefulness.

In this episode, Jason shares the exact moment he stopped treating sobriety like the finish line and started living recovery as a daily decision. We talk about how relapse patterns usually begin with emotions long before substances, how one simple question can interrupt the spiral, and why purpose shows up in the process, not after everything is fixed.

This is for anyone rebuilding after relapse, walking through recovery, or loving someone who is.
